I have a Miller Syncrowave 200. Good machine for the price. Whats your budget?
I've used mine to put a patch on part of a P51 header tank & you couldn't see where the patch actually is when I got done with it

| Post subject: | TIG welder recommendations? |
I'm thinking of buying a TIG welder so I can build aluminum fuel tanks for various projects, any recommendations? The Lincoln 225 and Miller 200 seem to be commonly used, anybody have experience with them? Or others? I've done a lot of oxy-acetelyne welding (of steel) but never played much with TIG, so would like to learn that. - |

I'd like to stay under $2,500, and those seem to be the two common ones. I seldom weld anything thicker than .125" so one of them should do. |

The 200 has an aircooled torch, it can get a bit warm. The next one up has a water cooled torch, or you can rig a cooler to a 200. Start checking craigslist
